  The barometer of his time, Jagger yet resisted the temptation to branch out from the Rolling Stones into too many uncharted areas. An appearance in the movie Ned Kelly revealed that he was unable to come up with a convincing Australian/Irish accent. The experiment was not repeated. Jagger was even less concerned about expressing himself in a literary form, unlike others of his generation. The most articulate of the Rolling Stones has frankly admitted that he could not even remember sufficient details of his life to pen a ghosted biography.

  i think barometer means he can be taken as a measure of the norm or limits of the norm at the time
  
  ghosted biography prob means that he cannot remember anythign much therefore he can't even write a rough or vague outline on his lifestory
